Fun, Mandatory: When the 1sg or CO (or their spouses) decide that the company's spouses and children are going to have a day set aside for them to have a family oriented even, and you are "invited" (I.E. no choice). you may not leave until the day is over, even though you live in the barracks and have no dependents of your own.

A: "Sorry, but I can't go to the beach with you this weekend. My employer wants us to attend this team-building retreat. If I don't go to the retreat, I'm required to show-up at my workstation and perform my duties."
B: "Oh, so they want you to have some mandatory fun, huh? It's okay!"

When you are forced to have "fun" by (most likely) someone with higher power than you or your coworker. Most of the time when this happens, it is (un)surprisingly, not very fun. For a good example, watch the video, "Management has Allowed a Pizza Party for 2 Million Subscribers" on Youtube from Pointcrow.
1: Sorry I can't come over this weekend, my boss is making us have Mandatory fun.
2: Same, it sucks.
